Description

Are you exhausted from the endless demands of running your private practice? Preventing burnout in your private practice doesn't require another complicated strategy or expensive solution. In today's episode, I'm sharing one surprisingly simple tool that's probably been right in front of you all along.

While we often talk about raising fees and being intentional with scheduling, I want to get back to something even more basic, something so simple that most therapists overlook it completely. This practice takes just minutes, costs nothing, and can happen right between sessions. It's helped me stay grounded when the demands of running my own business feel overwhelming, and it's given me the clarity to make better business decisions when I feel stuck. I'll walk you through the exact exercise I used to teach my clients that you can now use for yourself.

Plus, I'll share why this particular approach cuts through that feeling of being trapped in your private practice when nothing seems to be working anymore.

Topics covered on Preventing Burnout in Your Private Practice:

  • Why the simplest practices are often the most effective for preventing burnout in your private practice, even though we tend to overlook them
  • The specific sensory practice I used to teach my clients that now keeps me grounded in my own business
  • Feeling stuck in your practice might have nothing to do with your actual circumstances
  • The connection between pleasure and creative problem-solving in your private practice
